The Great America Show - THE J-6 COMMITTEE’S ACCUSATIONS AGAINST TRUMP WILL ONLY DRIVE HIS POLL NUMBERS HIGHER AND HE WILL BE RUNNING IN ’24

00:00:00.000 Hello everybody, I'm Lou Dobbs and welcome to the Great America Show.

00:00:04.440 The Marxist Dems war against President Donald Trump rages on, just as it has since 2016,

00:00:12.420 when their political persecution began by framing up Trump's choice to be his National Security

00:00:18.020 Advisor, General Michael Flynn, almost six months before Trump would become president.

00:00:24.260 And now, the January 6th committee, surprise alert, referred President Trump for criminal

00:00:30.680 prosecution. They put forth charges that ignore evidence of the president's proper conduct

00:00:36.540 and statements to demonstrators, and also served to question the conduct of the Department of

00:00:42.580 Justice and FBI in their raid on Mar-a-Lago and further persecution of President Trump himself.

00:00:49.820 Not the president's conduct. Meanwhile, the Republican Party's civil war goes on.

00:00:56.680 The RINO Republican establishment versus the Trump, MAGA, and America First GOPers. And in the House,

00:01:04.420 it's Kevin McCarthy and the RINOs versus conservative Republican Congressman Andy Biggs

00:01:10.320 and the Freedom Caucus. And MAGA, America First Republicans. All coming to a head at the same

00:01:17.620 moment. And the only way to avoid this conflict is for Biggs, the Freedom Caucus, and America First

00:01:24.220 Republicans to yield, to give in to the establishment RINOs. If they do, I don't believe they will. But I 0.82

00:01:33.080 also don't believe it's an overstatement to say all would be lost. This is the Republican Party's

00:01:39.880 defining moment and their way and ours out of the establishment swamp. The Republican Party faithful

00:01:48.160 remained restive and disappointed at the failure of Republican Party leaders to deliver what should

00:01:54.040 have been a big win in the Senate and the House. The House, where the GOP was told to expect a big

00:02:00.940 red wave and now has only a slim, fragile majority. Our guest today to take up all of this and give us

00:02:08.580 his reading on the state of the Republican Party is John McLaughlin, prominent GOP pollster and

00:02:15.080 strategist for McLaughlin and Associates. John, it's great to have you with us as always. Merry

00:02:20.420 Christmas. Let's start with what you believe to be the most salient findings in your monthly polling.

00:02:27.180 Well, thank you. It's great to be, you know, back on the podcast and Merry Christmas to you too.

00:02:33.720 And it's interesting that at this time, a lot of Republicans are a little deflated or may take it

00:02:41.820 back a lot deflated because they thought we had a greater opportunity. Our firm, we were successful

00:02:46.860 with a lot of our candidates, all our incumbents won re-election and we took five seats away from the

00:02:53.180 Democrats to help the Republicans get a House majority. However, our campaigns were pretty aggressive

00:02:59.240 and we ran campaigns that forced a referendum on the country being on the wrong track in Biden.

00:03:05.680 And, you know, the big news out of the poll, because we completed it from December 9th to the 14th,

00:03:13.220 and it's on our website on mclaughlinonline.com today. And the big news for us was there was a spate

00:03:21.080 of recent polls that had Donald Trump losing, not winning the nomination and losing to Biden,

00:03:27.400 etc. In our poll, because it's a poll of likely voters, not of adults, not of registered voters,

00:03:34.540 not one of these media polls where they only find 25% Republicans when we were 36% on the election in

00:03:41.700 2020 and as much this year in the midterm elections. We've got 61% saying that they want Donald Trump.

00:03:50.960 Among likely Republican primary voters, including independents nationally, 61% want Donald Trump to run again,

00:03:58.480 and if he runs again, they will support him 77% to 19%. And in a field of 13 candidates, he's the frontrunner,

00:04:08.360 48% and 23% support Ron DeSantis. Everybody else is in single digits. And one-on-one against Governor DeSantis,

00:04:15.240 it's 58% for Donald Trump, 36% for DeSantis. Again, it's a national poll. And then among general,

00:04:22.420 likely general election voters, Donald Trump wins 48% to 45% and against Kamala Harris, he wins 49-42.

00:04:31.080 So those numbers contradict a lot of media polls because they poll adults where 258 million adults

00:04:41.720 across the country are eligible to vote. However, in the last presidential election in 2020,

00:04:47.360 we had a record turnout of only 160 million people. We think the likely voters is the more accurate

00:04:53.800 model because Trump, I mean, Trump supporters are more likely to show up in the primary, show up in the

00:05:00.180 elections. And they're diluting these samples to say Trump can't win when it's precisely the opposite.

00:05:06.560 And they're doing it on purpose, the media again, because we went through this 2016, 2020,

00:05:12.100 where Trump could never win the election, according to the media. I mean, there was a Hillary lock,

00:05:16.180 remember? Oh, yeah. And by God, by 78,000 votes, let us win in 2016 and stopped Hillary from being 1.00

00:05:24.740 president. And for whatever reasons, in the 2020 election, in the battleground states, we lost

00:05:32.380 the electoral majority by only 44,000 votes out of 160 million, 10,000 Arizona, 11,000 in Georgia,

00:05:40.280 and 20,000 in Wisconsin. Otherwise, Donald Trump would have been president again. But those are

00:05:47.140 fascinating numbers. Talking about the number of votes that if they had shifted within a base of,

00:05:57.140 call it 160 million people, that you can see that happen in the battleground states, those are just,

00:06:04.780 we're really talking about a few counties in each state, and the world is quite different as a result,

00:06:10.660 isn't it? Yes. And that was, our strategy in 2016 was to bring new voters out because only,

00:06:17.540 and Mitt Romney's race against Barack Obama in 2012, only 130 million people voted. And when you

00:06:26.980 looked at the three key states of Virginia, Ohio, and Florida, there were people who voted in 2008,

00:06:38.080 2010, and didn't vote in 2012. And we did polls to see who they were. And there was, at first,

00:06:45.200 we ran the list, and it was a half million in Virginia, 800,000 in Ohio, a million in Florida.

00:06:49.680 And they were working class Americans. There was diverse. There were some African Americans,

00:06:54.600 some Hispanics. It was mostly women, almost six out of 10 were women. But their common denominator was

00:07:00.580 they all made less than $60,000 a year, where they were like one bad auto repair or one bad

00:07:07.480 medical bill from bankruptcy. And they were worried about losing their jobs. And they didn't want to vote

00:07:13.000 for Mitt Romney because he represented the guy who belongs to the country club that would fire them.

00:07:18.460 And they came out, 9 million more voters came out in 2016, particularly in these Rust Belt,

00:07:25.440 Sun Belt states, to help Donald Trump, because they looked at him as their blue-collar billionaire

00:07:31.040 who was going to fight for the working men and women of America. And in 2020, David Plouffe,

00:07:38.240 who worked for Zuckerberg, came up with a plan, wrote a book about it, published it in March,

00:07:43.160 about registering more voters in those counties in the key battleground states that voted for Hillary

00:07:51.160 Clinton. And so they were in those counties, but not registered. And they would register them.

00:07:56.060 And then they would make it easier for them to vote. They were ballot harvest. And that's where the 0.90

00:08:01.840 drop boxes came from. And that's where these looser election laws came from in Pennsylvania, 0.50

00:08:07.560 the bags of mail came from, and the permanently disabled ballots that are now illegal in Wisconsin

00:08:15.420 came from. So they, in effect, had this strategy, and they executed. And the bad part is, last November, 0.56

00:08:23.440 they're still executing this, where in the midterm elections, fortunately, Georgia,

00:08:29.820 for Governor Kemp, fortunately, and the other statewide officeholders, they required voter ID,

00:08:34.740 absentees, and in-person voting. And they also got rid of the drop boxes that were unsecure,

00:08:42.600 and only allowed secure drop boxes. So it's a battle where the Democrats want to loosen the election

00:08:50.500 laws that could allow potential fraud. And Republicans have to fight every day to stop them.

00:08:56.960 But as you and I both, as both of us know, the Republicans won't fight every day, don't fight

00:09:03.180 every day, didn't fight every day. And instead, we now have courts chiming in and saying, as they did

00:09:10.320 in North Carolina this very week, that, you know, there's not going to be voter ID.

00:09:18.420 There are nicking fraud, so permissible, whether it be the Marxist Dems elected in Washington, 0.92

00:09:26.540 D.C., or the Marxist Dems, in effect, or at least their enablers in the judiciary. It's outrageous

00:09:33.960 what has been done, and the Republicans don't even speak about it, Republican leadership,

00:09:39.540 publicly. And they're doing absolutely nothing, despite, for example, Ronna McDaniel's protestations,

00:09:46.000 that she was ready with a magnificent ground game, as if it were 1956. It's bizarre how inept 0.89

00:09:55.220 the Republican Party is as an electoral-focused group.

00:10:04.100 But you're exactly right, Lou, because I tell you, the point about this, the ground game,

00:10:09.880 that was developed in 2002, 20 years ago, to help George Bush. They had a 72-hour game plan. That's

00:10:19.100 when people voted on Election Day. Well, the Democrats have adapted and turned it into Election

00:10:23.540 Month. And places where Republicans fight, like in Florida, in North Carolina, in, you know, in Nassau

00:10:33.360 County, New York, where the county organization, we make sure we, whatever the rules are, we beat the

00:10:40.340 Democrats on absentee ballots or stay even. We beat them in early in-person voting. And then we beat

00:10:47.140 them on Election Day. And for whatever reasons, a lot of these state parties, like Pennsylvania,

00:10:53.820 the National Committee, they wait and don't show up for the first three quarters of the game and expect

00:11:01.420 to win in the fourth quarter. You can't do that. And by the way, North Carolina, since you mentioned

00:11:08.940 that with voter ID, that court that just ruled is based on a Democrat court where two of the judges

00:11:15.580 that lost elections this November were Democrats. And you're coming into a four-to-three Republican

00:11:23.180 court. So the partisan Democrats did that before their terms were up so that the Republicans will

00:11:30.780 have a harder time going back to voter ID. And, you know, North Carolina, they reapportion it every

00:11:37.000 year. And they're afraid that the Republicans are going to reapportion it last year, just like the

00:11:41.080 Democrats fought in court. And you got Democrat lawyers like Mark Elias that have to be stopped at

00:11:47.000 every turn because they're weakening election integrity. And it's making our democracy the

00:11:56.780 laughingstock of the world. So it has to be stopped. And it's got to be changed.

00:12:01.640 Mark Elias, he is the solution for the Democrats. He's the problem for the Republicans.

00:12:08.600 I don't understand how any group of professional strategists, the RNC, the campaigns come together

00:12:17.460 and just sort of go, duh, when they hear Mark Elias's name and look over all that he has done

00:12:24.620 in the legal system to assure maximum turnout for the Dems. And if you will, it's not suppression of

00:12:35.220 the Republican vote. The Republicans do enough of that on their own. But they're just indifferent

00:12:40.720 and awestruck, apparently, all of the Republican lawyers by this guy and his apparatus there.

00:12:47.820 It is, I don't understand why a bunch of what were once in this country white-shoes Republicans 0.95

00:12:55.960 as attorneys, they're just absent. People are afraid to go near them. And they are afraid to come out

00:13:04.320 for the party. I really think a lot of that's going on, don't you?

00:13:08.460 Yes. And I'll tell you what's interesting. Again, I'm going to say being in New York.

00:13:13.240 But last year in New York, the Democrats had three propositions on the ballot and a statewide

00:13:19.320 referendum the same day as the New York City's mayor's race so they could get a favorable turnout.

00:13:25.200 You know who fought them? It wasn't really the Republican Party. It was the New York State

00:13:30.380 conservative party because they have their own party. It's the party that elected Jim Buckley

00:13:35.560 a senator and Bill Buckley had run for mayor. And they usually endorse our candidates like Ronald

00:13:40.160 Reagan and Donald Trump. And they love Donald Trump. But they fought and spent over $5 million

00:13:47.540 to beat three propositions. One was redistricting that would count illegal immigrants as residents

00:13:55.740 and get rid of the bipartisan redistricting commission. One that would allow same day 0.61

00:14:01.500 registration in a state where there's no voter ID and one where there's no excuse absentee so they

00:14:08.640 could ballot harvest. And guess what? The voters of New York, which are two to one Democrat in

00:14:14.080 registration, they voted it down 56 to 58 percent in each of those three propositions because they

00:14:22.420 don't want voter fraud and they know it that the Democrats are trying to put this over on them.

00:14:27.100 And it allowed us this year to win in the courts to get their Democrat redistricting plan thrown out,

00:14:33.660 which probably would have meant only four Republicans for Congress for New York. Instead,

00:14:39.480 we've got 11. That seven seat margin is the reason why the Republicans have a majority in the House today

00:14:45.960 or they will have come January. And I was pretty sure it was because of the extraordinary campaign

00:14:52.620 comprehension and strategy created by Kevin McCarthy to to drive that those victories.

00:15:03.700 I have to say, you know, you combine all that the Democrats are doing, what all that the Republican

00:15:10.280 leadership isn't doing. And then you throw in the extraordinary, dark money that the Democratic

00:15:19.480 Party has available to it, whether it's Soros money, whether it's Arabella, you name it. They're

00:15:25.640 throwing money at everything. And the Republicans just haven't been competing, have they?

00:15:32.440 No. And and when you look at the money, I mean, we've had, you know, I mean, the Democrats,

00:15:37.620 ironically, will spend money to elect Trump candidates where they they want to run against

00:15:43.780 a Trump backed primary opponent. And Sean Patrick Maloney, who ran the Democratic campaign committee

00:15:52.680 that we defeated in November, he was beaten by Mike Lawler for Congress in New York. He was spending

00:15:59.300 money in primaries to get the Republican candidate who was more Trump like. And they ran a ton of ads

00:16:06.280 of Mike Lawler calling him Maga Mike. And it just made Lawler stronger and caused Maloney to lose.

00:16:12.300 And we saw her in a different district, John Katko's district up in Syracuse in Onondaga County and the

00:16:18.180 environs around there. Brandon Williams, one of our clients, we did the polling for, he was a Trump

00:16:23.160 supporter. They spent a million dollars out of one of these dark money groups, the Republicans, to beat us

00:16:28.660 in the primary so a rhino could win. We won in November precisely because Williams stood for getting rid of 1.00

00:16:35.220 cashless bail because he stood for, you know, lower taxes and against the spending that's causing

00:16:41.480 inflation. So, so, you know, it's something about inside the beltway where these country club Republicans

00:16:48.460 would rather nominate losers and remain in the minority rather than, you know, see Trump candidates

00:16:56.180 win and actually win a majority. So, you know, we're going to have primaries next year, you know, 0.81

00:17:02.040 we're set up for primaries next year so that in, you know, 2024, it'll be the same thing. We'll win the

00:17:08.300 primaries. They didn't want Donald Trump to win. We got to win the primaries and then we got to win the

00:17:12.660 general election all over again. So, but if the working men and women of America realize what's going to

00:17:18.980 happen this year, because that poll that we talked about in November, I mean, 64% said the country's on the

00:17:24.900 wrong track, 60% think we're in recession. They think the economy is getting worse, not better, 64 to 30.

00:17:31.900 Over 80% have been impacted by inflation negatively and 42% saying they've been hurt by inflation so bad

00:17:39.080 they can't afford basic necessities. So, you know, the issues are there. The Republicans got to stand up

00:17:47.040 and stand up for working middle-class America. And the Republican Party certainly isn't doing any of

00:17:54.340 that. We've got Karl Rove out raising money from the donors to go against Republican candidates,

00:18:03.500 support Democrats, because Mitch McConnell just will not in any way, shape or form,

00:18:11.720 exceed to any kind of intelligent posture and support Donald Trump candidates. He wants Mitch

00:18:19.880 McConnell candidates, you know, Mitch McConnell, the energy, the dynamism origins for the Republican

00:18:26.940 Party. You would think that he is the driving fuel when he is just destroying the party. Your thoughts?

00:18:34.200 Well, well, you know, right now, what's what's interesting to me is I, I listen a lot. Steve

00:18:42.900 Forbes is a good friend. Larry Cutler is a good friend, Steve Moore. I listen to them economically.

00:18:47.280 And Larry had us ask a question in September in our national poll that's online, where do you want

00:18:53.680 to see the Republicans reduce spending in order to cut inflation? And among all voters nationally, 71% to 14,

00:19:02.540 they said they did. 71%. That's a big number. You only need 51% to win. The Republicans ironically got

00:19:09.840 51% of the national popular vote for Congress. But that's an issue that the Republicans needed to play,

00:19:16.420 because back in 2010, when they took the House in 2009, before they took the House with a huge margin

00:19:22.700 and had like 60 seats turned around, they, they, they stood up to Obama on a stimulus package,

00:19:30.120 on his budget and an Obamacare, because they were all spending too much money. And guess what? They,

00:19:35.980 they won in a landslide in 2010. Well, this time around, the voters were saying, please stand up to

00:19:42.040 them. Please stop this inflation by stopping the, you know, trillions of government spending. And

00:19:48.840 they chose not to. And, you know, individual candidates did. And that's why we were successful,

00:19:54.000 particularly our candidates played offense on those issues and forced a referendum on Joe Biden,

00:19:58.800 made this Biden's fault. But now you've got the House is saying, you know, let us change the

00:20:07.140 budget in January. And instead, certain Republicans are voting for a continuing resolution that goes

00:20:13.880 almost a whole year before they can change the budget, which means that we'll have higher inflation.

00:20:19.320 So it's, and, and Kudlow correctly calls it a betrayal. So, so it's a betrayal, but I think

00:20:28.640 there's another thing here I'd like you to consider, you know, can go out there and get 71% on, you know,

00:20:34.820 do you want us to cut federal spending to stop inflation? That's one way to word the question.

00:20:40.080 But would you rather have a promise from a Republican party that hasn't delivered on those with the

00:20:48.280 exception of the Trump, the Trump years, four of them, while Joe Biden is handing, you know, a half

00:20:58.740 trillion dollars to young voters and their families, by the way, not just young voters, but also their

00:21:05.840 families with student loan forgiveness. I mean, it's hard to compete with that. And I don't think

00:21:12.700 you're going to get the same answer. Would you rather have the $20,000 forgiveness for your student

00:21:18.200 loans? Or would you rather have a balanced budget? I think most people in that age group are going to

00:21:23.700 say, hey, you know what, I'll take the 20 grand and get it off my back. The Republicans keep getting

00:21:29.980 outmaneuvered, both politically on Capitol Hill, legislatively, even their parliamentary skills need

00:21:38.920 some help as well. I mean, we're talking about a party that is bereft of intelligent, original thinking.

00:21:46.380 They don't have such a leader within the party itself on Capitol Hill.

00:21:52.020 Well, I tell you that about going back to the student loan issue, one of our clients, the Job Creators

00:21:58.380 Network, challenged that in court. And it's going to go to the Supreme Court now because it's been

00:22:04.240 blocked, because the president doesn't have the power to forgive that money. And he was doing it.

00:22:08.660 The same part is he was doing it just to buy votes. And these millennials or Gen Zers that thought

00:22:17.800 they were going to get this break, it's not going to happen. Because in the poll that we do for the

00:22:25.400 Job Creators Network, a 500, we do a scientific poll of 500 small business owners across America every

00:22:31.220 month, you've got over two thirds of those, those small business owners saying it's not right for,

00:22:39.820 it's not right for taxpayers to be asked to pay off this debt from other people.

00:22:47.260 And so the majority, what's amazing is the Republicans and individual candidates have,

00:22:54.040 they've stood up to this because it's immoral to basically take people who didn't go to college

00:22:59.360 or people who went to college and paid off their loans and basically say, we're going to pay off

00:23:04.360 this for a system where you've got a liberal education system living off this large S where 0.95

00:23:11.140 they're, they're indoctrinating, you know, people who go to universities about, you know,

00:23:17.960 these liberal policies and the government is subsidizing, you know, this kind of, you know,

00:23:24.500 liberal spending. And it's, and it's really just, it's bizarre. I mean, it's just bizarre.

00:23:28.980 It's not fair to a lot of people.

00:23:31.520 It absolutely is not. And, and responsible, I believe bearing great responsibility for that,

00:23:37.640 John is the Republican party itself, because what you've just described is a double whammy

00:23:44.180 of, uh, of intellectual deficit on the part of the Republicans. Not only did Biden come out and

00:23:52.760 say, I'm going to give you $20,000. He knew damn well that the courts were going to say no.

00:23:58.860 So he got to sell the car, then take it back from, from those guys and didn't have to pay for anything

00:24:06.500 to buy their vote. I mean, it gets slicker than that. And the Republicans are walking around saying,

00:24:12.040 wait a minute, inflation is high. Wait a minute. We've got problems here. Ball. I, you know,

00:24:19.620 the fact of the matter is this government is shoving so much money at people in a, in a situation where

00:24:26.820 you've also got Larry Kudlow and Stephen Moore telling everybody how crappy the economy is.

00:24:31.760 Here's a little secret for you. This economy is, is, is going through difficulty. We've got a lot

00:24:40.300 of people who are having to pay higher prices, but the reality is Biden also took 180 million

00:24:46.680 barrels of oil out of the strategic petroleum reserve, sold a few bill, a few million barrels

00:24:52.900 to the Chinese just for old time's sake. And by the way, the gas prices are down from a year ago.

00:25:00.100 Uh, the Republicans have been outsmarted at every turn period. Uh, the, the economy is much stronger.

00:25:08.800 It's, you know, it's an open question whether we're going into recession or not. It is not an open

00:25:13.720 question that inflation is subsiding enough. No, but lower. Yes. And I'm so tired of watching the,

00:25:22.740 you know, the, uh, reflexive orthodoxy of the supply side economic class, but you know, they're peddling

00:25:31.360 bull. It's outright bull. And they've got to come to terms with it. Banks are making a fortune right

00:25:37.700 now. They're driving rates. They've got profits. They're moving good. Everything's hunky dory.

00:25:43.160 Housing's got a problem, but rates are down right now. Give us a couple of months. Rates will be down

00:25:48.480 further. Uh, it's time for people to try. I know that the Democrats make it tough because they lie

00:25:54.280 through their teeth all the time. The Republicans are doing pretty, they're doing a lot to try to

00:26:00.060 catch up to them when it comes to BSing the American public. Well, I mean, it's only so far

00:26:10.300 could go. I mean, there's backbenchers as people running for Congress and there will be people in

00:26:16.900 the Senate that realize that we should have won the Senate and they'll be coming out this time. And

00:26:21.560 you know, as far as when you're talking about the statistics, the voters already think we're in a

00:26:27.120 recession. The voters don't see interest rates getting better. It's getting worse for them.

00:26:31.900 The credit card debt in the country has gone up. These people are, are, you know, I mean, I mean,

00:26:37.300 they're, they're, they're pessimistic and that's not good. And you think about it, it's Christmas

00:26:41.300 season, Christmas. By the way, 65% of those small business owners in our job creators network survey

00:26:47.240 told us that they're concerned that they may go out of business. I mean, this was, when you think

00:26:54.400 about the optimism coming off of, as the economy reopened, as Trump left the country, uh, you know,

00:27:00.920 as he left, stepped down as president, you had a growing economy. People thought things were going to

00:27:06.660 get better. And every, everything Biden has done has been to undermine that. And then they try to

00:27:12.840 sandbag us into thinking that things are good and people know better and they just need leadership

00:27:18.320 to, to really take them on. Like, for example, I mean, the Republicans right out of the gate,

00:27:24.740 the reason they want to, you know, be able to change the budget, they got to get rid of the 87,000

00:27:30.080 IRS agents that are going to come. They got more IRS agents than FBI agents. They'll be like

00:27:35.840 stationing one with every business and small business in America. It'll be just nuts. Waiters,

00:27:41.820 waitresses, people, small people, little people, people own hair salons, barbershops. They'll be 0.89

00:27:47.380 getting IRS visits to make sure they're paying all their taxes. Yeah. It's terrible, but you know,

00:27:52.900 who, but here's, here's the rest of that deal. They've already brought in a third of them.

00:27:58.880 So they're going to have to, uh, figure out if they're going to have the guts in the house of

00:28:03.580 representatives to shut them down. I think it's an open question is whether or not, uh, the, uh,

00:28:09.340 appropriations committee and ways and means will have the guts to actually take action. Uh,

00:28:15.760 because Republicans have done so much talking and blathering and they didn't have to say a word

00:28:20.400 because Donald Trump was doing most of the talking throughout his four years. Uh, and,

00:28:25.280 and he had to make all the tough decisions. Uh, this is a time where this Congress,

00:28:29.940 the Republicans have a lousy record when they're not in power. Uh, they have, they're slightly better

00:28:35.960 when they are, but I just don't know where it, uh, ends up. Uh, and you're talking about Trump and 24,

00:28:43.100 uh, and the primaries, uh, is already underway, as you pointed out. Uh, here's a man who is being,

00:28:52.680 you know, just brutally bashed by every, from every quarter by the Marxist Dems and the Republicans, 0.77

00:29:00.160 because of their feckless leadership, aren't defending him. Where does he turn for defense,

00:29:05.500 for support, uh, and, and occasionally maybe just, uh, just a little security, uh, that he will not be

00:29:13.100 bludgeoned by the national corporate media, the, uh, it's not corporate America anymore. It's corporate

00:29:19.700 global, uh, and, uh, wall street, uh, and of course the Marxist Dems. You know, in that national poll that

00:29:29.560 we just released, only 39% of voters were aware of the Twitter files, 50% of the Republicans, 37%

00:29:37.080 of the independents, 30% of the, uh, Democrats. So the censorship continues, big tech, big media,

00:29:44.640 they don't want to give Donald Trump any favorable coverage. Uh, they are, are to the extent they're

00:29:50.740 covering, uh, what's going on at Twitter. They're bashing Elon Musk precisely because he's definitely

00:29:57.020 caught them colluding. Uh, you know, I mean, these emails that Musk is releasing the emails from the

00:30:03.520 FBI, uh, and emails from Democrat operatives and the DNC and the Biden campaign, uh, telling us that,

00:30:13.040 you know, the Hunter Biden laptop was, uh, uh, was Russian disinformation when they knew it was a lie.

00:30:20.480 And they knew at the time in 2020 that if the voters found out about it, they would vote

00:30:25.880 for Trump or not vote for Biden. We had 36% of Biden voters on election day in 2020 were not aware

00:30:33.040 of the Hunter Biden laptop scandal. And if they had been enough, would have walked away from Biden

00:30:38.660 that Trump would have been reelected president. And so what, what did they do? You talk about

00:30:44.400 election interference. They suspended the president of the United States right to free speech on Twitter.

00:30:50.100 They suspended freedom of the press for the New York post on Twitter and the government allowed

00:30:56.080 it to happen and colluded with them. The FBI was colluding on this. So, you know, we're in a fight

00:31:02.640 for freedom. We're in a fight for democracy here. And it's the exact opposite of what big tech and big

00:31:09.020 media are telling us. Well, let me tell you what the big media just told me. President Trump has been

00:31:15.360 referred to the Department of Justice for criminal prosecution by the January 6th committee.

00:31:21.500 That is just broken. Now, we know a couple of things.

00:31:26.260 Well, those numbers will go up in the polls for sure.

00:31:29.520 Well, no doubt. But I think that it's about time for people to let their temperatures get a little

00:31:35.640 higher. This is outrageous. It is disgusting. They're checking into two things. One, the Mar-a-Lago

00:31:44.040 raid and the documents, right? We know for a fact that that was an illegal search and seizure by the

00:31:50.800 FBI at a totally politically motivated moment. And everything else about it is just pure nonsense.

00:32:02.040 And we're assured that, by the way, he will be criminally referred because Merrick Garland is a 0.97

00:32:08.760 corrupt criminal who also happens to be the attorney general of the United States. Your reaction?

00:32:15.680 Well, Garland's been covering up for Hunter Biden. It's amazing.

00:32:18.940 They've got the goods on Hunter Biden and President Biden, and they're just the cover up continues.

00:32:24.380 As far as President Trump goes, you know, this is this is all to stop him from being reelected because

00:32:30.520 he's ahead in the polls and they have to do something. So this is what they're going to do.

00:32:34.900 And it's sad for the state of American democracy. But, you know, the other part and this this whole

00:32:40.940 January 6th committee, it's a kangaroo court. There's no supporters on that. They wouldn't put

00:32:46.060 Jim Jordan on it. There's no Trump supporters at all. It's it's it's you know, this is it. The

00:32:51.720 report's out. They make the referral. If Merrick Garland, if he indicts President Trump, there will be

00:32:58.240 such a backlash in the country because Trump is likely to be the nominee regardless. And

00:33:03.600 and and Garland, if he does this, you know, I mean, this is just to me, it's just a terrible,

00:33:11.720 terrible miscarriage of justice. So, you know, they have. But but what have they done for seven?

00:33:17.660 This is the seventh year of a political persecution of a president. This isn't a one off.

00:33:23.160 This is a president who the FBI and the Department of Justice and the Democratic National Committee

00:33:28.980 and the Hillary Clinton Committee have worked to frame to stop his his candidacy and then to overthrow

00:33:38.520 and destroy his presidency. I mean, this is not this is a level of corruption that no one ever dreamed

00:33:46.240 this country could reach. And the Republicans haven't fought one iota in it in support of

00:33:54.240 and in favor of this president and against the Dems. The Republicans aren't here. They're not even

00:34:00.540 showing up for show, let alone go. Well, by the way, you hit the magic word on that. It's corruption.

00:34:07.580 And when you look at the kind of corruption that that and by the way, the majority on our on our

00:34:14.980 analysis of our poll, the majority of Americans, 54 percent, think that there's been this collusion

00:34:20.780 among among the they would likely swing if there was more coverage of the Twitter files,

00:34:26.100 they would swing against Biden towards Donald Trump. That's why they're covering it up. And this

00:34:32.500 is more of a diversion against there's more of a diversion against President Trump. So that precisely

00:34:40.220 so that Hunter Biden is not investigated and the corruption, what they've done, it's so sad what

00:34:46.220 they've done at the top of the FBI. So sad what they've gotten away with inside the federal government

00:34:52.160 and the Justice Department. And now they would weaponize the Justice Department against their

00:34:57.500 political opponents. This is the kind of stuff you see in third world countries. And we're seeing in the 1.00

00:35:01.960 United States of America. Well, it is it is outrageous. It is to me stupefying to think that

00:35:12.840 the American people have become so apathetic, so passive that they do not respond. And the Republican

00:35:19.740 Party has a is a is a gathering of the most gutless, unprincipled representatives for the American

00:35:29.720 people. I believe in our history. I think it has to be said they haven't demonstrated strength, integrity,

00:35:37.160 energy or originality in any form of strategy, let alone action. So what is kind of we can conclude on

00:35:46.840 this, if we may, John, what is the answer for the Republican Party to support President Donald Trump

00:35:54.040 and to go after from a majority in the House alone, to go after the Marxist stems who are destroying

00:36:01.600 this nation? I will tell you that those there are courageous leaders in the House that do want to

00:36:08.620 get to the bottom of the Biden family corruption and public opinion United States and our latest

00:36:14.320 poll is with them. Fifty four percent say that Biden and his family are compromised because they've

00:36:19.400 accepted millions of dollars from interests of Russia, China and Ukraine. Only thirty percent said

00:36:24.120 no. So you're going to see leaders like Jim Jordan, Jim Banks, you'll see others where they want to get

00:36:30.560 to the bottom of this. And as they get to the bottom of this, the media, big media, big tech will try to

00:36:36.200 censor them. But the majority already is aware of this and we've got to keep it percolating and we've got

00:36:41.700 to get the facts out there because, I mean, if anybody should be indicted, it may just be the Biden

00:36:48.500 family that should be indicted. And this this president that's sitting there should be the one

00:36:52.400 that should be considered for for impeachment. But let's get to the facts out there.

00:36:58.420 Yeah, I can tell you that I've known the facts since 2017 about

00:37:04.100 about Russiagate. The president, much of the congressional leadership, Republican congressional

00:37:12.800 leadership has known. I believe the American public now are pretty well informed. What is deeply disturbing

00:37:19.540 is knowing what we know. And that is, as you would as you intimate, is enough to to prosecute the people

00:37:28.540 who are prosecuting, persecuting Donald Trump. The Republicans haven't had an answer. And and that's a

00:37:37.000 shame. That's a disgrace. And that's what the party has to overcome, because we don't have two years

00:37:43.180 to to, quote unquote, educate the public. The public's pretty well educated. They know neither

00:37:49.640 party is worth worth very much right now because the Republicans are not taking action and all the

00:37:57.980 Democrats are doing is running the country into the ground. John McLaughlin, it's always, always great to

00:38:05.820 have you with us. I want to give you the last word here. And thank you for being with us is always

00:38:10.940 here. You get your concluding thoughts, if you will. I conclude those keep getting the truth out because

00:38:17.240 it's just essential to the future of democracy and freedom in America right now. And with that,

00:38:23.920 thank you for the opportunity. I just want to wish you a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. Look forward

00:38:28.600 to seeing you in the new year. John McLaughlin, McLaughlin and Associates, Great American.
